Understanding Pet X-Rays: A Window into Your Pet's Health
X-rays, also known as pet radiographs, are a non-invasive imaging technique that allows us to visualize the internal structures of your pet’s body. X-rays pass small amounts of radiation through the body, which are then absorbed or scattered by the tissues and organs. Dense structures, such as bones, absorb more radiation and appear white on the X-ray image. Less dense structures, such as organs and soft tissues, appear darker. Digital X-ray images are easily shared with other veterinary professionals if needed.
The Versatility of X-Rays
Pet X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine that our veterinarians at Chase Oaks Animal Clinic can use to detect bone fractures, dislocations, and other orthopedic injuries. X-rays can also be used to assess joint health and mobility. If your companion swallows something other than food, pet X-rays can be used to identify foreign objects stuck in their digestive tract. Sometimes, pet X-rays may also be used to detect tumors and masses or evaluate the size and shape of internal organs as well. However, your veterinarian may decide that ultrasound will provide more complete results.
Fast Results Without Safety Compromises
While pet X-rays involve exposure to a small amount of radiation, they are considered safe when performed by experienced professionals and used only as an occasional diagnostic method. At Chase Oaks Animal Clinic, we take every precaution to minimize radiation exposure and ensure your pet’s safety. Our modern equipment and strict protocols adhere to industry standards and guidelines, allowing us to obtain high-quality images while keeping your pet safe.
